Peter Gizzi's recent collection of poetry, Fierce Elegy, was recently shortlisted for the 2024 T. S. Eliot Prize for Poetry. The prize awards £25,000 to the author of the best new poetry collection published in the UK or Ireland. Shortlisted poets receive £1,500 each. Fierce Elegy was praised for “its beautiful, fiery insistence … redeclares the elegy as the undying practice of the living” by Oluwaseun Olayiwola in the Guardian.
